-toniacomb. form

Forms: 1600s– -tony, 1800s– -tonia.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin -tonia.

Etymology: < scientific Latin -tonia (in e.g. dystonia dystonia n.) < ancient Greek -τονία (in ἀτονία atony n.) < τόνος tone n. + -ία -ia suffix¹.Compare French -tonie , German -tonie . With the form -tony compare -y suffix³. F. Swediaur ( Novum nosologiae methodicae systema (1812) II. 71) uses the scientific Latin terms dystonia and hypertonia , modelled on the Greek forms ἀτονία atony n. and εὐτονία tension. The Greek forms δυστονία and ὑπερτονία cited by Swediaur are apparently not attested. French hypertonie is attested slightly earlier, in 1803.
